Mildred Howard on Making Art of, for the Bay AreaCelebrated Bay Area artist Mildred Howard’s work has long been informed by the place she calls home, reflecting the intersection of her family’s history and the larger history of the Bay Area. You may have seen her massive “Frame” at Hunters Point Shipyard, her wall of saxophones at SFO or her sculpture “Delivered, Mable’s Promissory Note” outside the Ashby BART station, which commemorates her mother’s successful fight for the undergrounding of BART tracks in South Berkeley. Now, more of Howard’s pieces can be seen at the Oakland Museum of California, which is hosting her first major retrospective. We’ll speak with Howard, and with people who have studied her work, about what it means to make art that’s of and for the Bay Area.

Translating ‘The Odyssey’ for a Modern AudienceChristopher Nolan’s latest film “The Odyssey” doesn’t debut in theaters until next week, but it’s already drawing online backlash for perceived inaccuracies from Homer’s epic poem. The story dates back to ancient Greece and has been told countless times; Nolan’s interpretation draws from a 2017 translation of classical studies scholar Emily Wilson that’s noted for its conversational language and feminist approach. Wilson argues that any given translation is a product of both the author who writes it and the era in which they interpret the text. Wilson joins us to discuss translating ancient Greek, how modern English influenced her telling and why “The Odyssey” endures today.
